Description
Light green men’s suit pants designed by Everett Hall. The pants feature a pleated waistband with six evenly spaced belt loops measuring about an inch and a half. There is a plastic button closure, an interior metal hook eye closure, and an 8” metal zipper with plastic teeth below it. The zipper placket outline is hand stitched. The front of the pants has two cotton twill lined welt pockets: one on each side of the waist. There are also two cotton twill lined pockets on the back that close with a grey, plastic pearlized button. The back pockets have a dart at the center. The interior waistband is lined with white cotton twill. A band of white woven fabric runs along the interior waist band and reads [Everett Hall] nine times in black text. The edges of the center back seam and the pants hem are finished with surging.
